has a Touch Sensor connected to a leg it can tell how far it has
moved by counting how many times the Touch Sensor has been
pressed.
The Touch Sensor can also be used to detect if your robot
bumps into an obstacle and reacts to it.
You can also use a Touch Sensor to make your robot act ona

Sensor, you can make your robot walk, talk, close a door or
turn on your TV.
